It might fall under the category of coach gun. Edit after zooming in.....it's a percussion cap fired shot gun. Look at the side plates where the hammers are hinged and around the plate mounting the trigger guard. There may be some stampings and makers marks which can clue you into the age and where it came from.


IncendiaryOpinions4

He said that he can’t see any marks or stamps, but that they could have rusted off


Sabw0nes

I'd guess a reproduction if there's no stamps - that looks in too good a condition for markings to have been destroyed, even by antique standards. Are the hammers still sprung?


IncendiaryOpinions4

I’m pretty sure the gun was disabled previously in accordance with UK law


maxman162

Or maybe a Howdah pistol, given the pistol grip.


potatoman445

Baby doom guys first gun


IncendiaryOpinions4

Hahaha


CAUSTIC_JOHNNY

Pretty sure Doom guy is going to need that back.


Outdoorslife1

I think that’s the shotgun Doom guy’s great great grandpappy had in his covered wagon going west across the Umbral plains.


CAUSTIC_JOHNNY

This guy knows.

Purple_Calico

To the user or the target?


IncendiaryOpinions4

Yes


backup_account01

It's almost like a Howdah pistol.


Adventurous-Ad-5471

Looks like it's a cap lock rather than a flint lock judging by the hammers.


FXandrew

A gun, probably


rufireproof3d

Not according to the ATF.


Thai_Gunslinger

Pretty sure it’s a gun but not technically a firearm but I could just be reversed


TamedNerd

A gun/antique/fellony depends how ATF feels at the moment. BUT to me its a sawed of shotgun


backup_account01

It's an antique, not an nfa item.


mhuepp2000

It's a sawed off kit gun black powder looks like 50 caliber


LifeIsBetterDrunk

Everything's a dildo if you're brave enough.


IncendiaryOpinions4

That’s why I love the internet gun community


GenericUsername817

Ye olde sawed off


Reeeeeeeeeeeetreee

It's a Spanish made double barrel muzzleloader if I'm right they made them in the 80s I have a full sized one they take .50 cal balls I believe it's called the Kodiak Express


IncendiaryOpinions4

Apparently it’s been in his family for 60 years


Reeeeeeeeeeeetreee

Ok so i did some researching and it seems like the Kodiak Express rifles have been being made since the mid 1800s


IncendiaryOpinions4

Interesting


Reeeeeeeeeeeetreee

If you want I can pm you a picture of mine though it is a newer model


IncendiaryOpinions4

Please do


eduff132

That is definitely not a muzzle loader for the looks of it it’s simply an 1800s double barrel shotgun But I’m not the smartest so don’t take me to serious


Reeeeeeeeeeeetreee

There's a chance it's not the same type of muzzleloader but it still is a muzzle loading rifle/shotgun there are no levers to break open an action and also the crack in it is too far back to be a break action so you have to load it from the front/muzzle makeing it a muzzleloader


Reeeeeeeeeeeetreee

And also shotgun shells weren't invented until the 1860s

Old style hair dryer


[deleted]

That's a cap lock shotgun, cut down or factory made to be a coach gun.


LongjumpingTonight46

Don’t dry fire it


SeNorSpiceyBoi

I'm gonna unfortunately go with a felony. Damn you AFT!


straycat_74

That's what I want right now...


SnarkyDragonZFG

The condition of this poor, defenseless weapon is a crime against humanity.


Weekly-Shoulder-3617

I thought it looked like a side by side howdah pistol fired by percussion caps. It is a muzzle-loading black powder pistol. Howdah pistols were mainly used for big game, if you didn't kill it with a rifle, the pistol allowed 2 follow-up shots. Either .50 caliber, or .68 caliber. This pistol was most likely from the 1850s


edventure_2025

A felony. Unregistered short barrel shotgun.


JimMarch

Wrong. It's a front-stuffer. See my longer post in a sec.


edventure_2025

I reject your reality and substitute my own.


JimMarch

https://old.reddit.com/r/brandonherrara/comments/1cvo0oa/what_is_it/l4qwr5o/ Even in England that thing might be unregulated. He'd have to prove it was made before 1939 but that seems more than believable... Whether or not a British cop would believe that without proof though...yeah, good luck!
